Patch that does work around it:
-#ifndef _NETINET_IF_ETHER_H
+/* Check for <linux/if_ether.h> - _LINUX_IF_ETHER_H will also work */
+#if !defined(_NETINET_IF_ETHER_H) || !defined(ETH_ALEN)
#define _NETINET_IF_ETHER_H
+#define _LINUX_IF_ETHER_H /* linux/if_ether.h defines the same stuff */
#include <stdint.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
Not really clean, but all that an application can rely on getting from either header can be found in the other:
on my install, the content of linux/if_ether.h is exactly the same except it uses kernel types.
